Research on Value Activation of Taishan Cultural Ecosystem and Kinetic Energy Transformation Mechanism of Rural Revitalization

Mount Taishan, recognized as a dual natural and cultural UNESCO World Heritage Site, harbors a rich cultural ecosystem that integrates spiritual culture, historical relics, mountain ecology, and rural folk customs. Despite its superior resource endowments—including 15 national cultural relic protection units, 693 municipal intangible cultural heritage items, and a 94.8% forest coverage rate—the surrounding rural areas face challenges such as insufficient cultural value exploration, broken industrial transformation chains, and weak community vitality. This study proposes a three-stage value transformation mechanism—symbolization, scenarization, and productization—to activate the static Taishan cultural heritage into sustainable rural development capital. By leveraging official statistics, questionnaire data, and spatial census results, researchers identify local characteristic cultural genes, summarize typical rural development modes, and construct a multi-agent collaborative guarantee system. The findings aim to address the 'rich poverty' problem in heritage villages, offering theoretical support and practical models for rural revitalization in similar mountainous cultural regions across China.
